INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — UBS Financial Services agreed to pay Indiana regulators $677,000 on Thursday to settle a claim that it sold "unsuitable investments" to a now defunct teachers union health care trust.
The claim stems from the $16.2 million that the Indiana State Teachers Association Insurance Trust invested in 13 private equity funds from 2004 to 2009. A consent settlement signed by UBS and the Indiana Securities Division shows that the company agreed to pay a $450,000 fine and $227,000 in costs.
Details of the settlement, including the investments involved, weren't released. It follows a separate settlement between the Indiana State Teachers Association and UBS in which the company agreed to buy some of the funds from the union, according to the consent agreement.
